A member asked:

Had right inguinal hernia repair done last december yesterday the doc said he felt a small one there wst could cause it to come back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hernia: Anytime hernia get repaired, there is some weakening of the canal and so your old repair may be letting a new hernia through. Be careful with lifting heavy weights and check with the surgeon who did the original operation. He'd be the one who'd know for sure.
